Guided Lessons for Beginners and Experienced Artists

A comprehensive and practical guide to watercolour painting from sought-after instructor and acclaimed artist Leslie Frontz that answers the two most common questions students at all levels want to know: What am I doing wrong? and How do I decide what to do instead?

In the tradition of the eminently practical, top-selling guides such as How to Make a Watercolour Paint Itself, The Oil Painting Course You’ve Always Wanted, and Problem Solving for Oil Painters, this straightforward handbook offers a fresh approach to watercolour mastery that bridges the gap between theory and practice.

Contents include:

• Interpreting subjects to shapes
• Mastering the properties of colour
• Conveying dynamic textures
• And much more!

Through thoughtful discussion, expert instruction, and in-depth step-by-step demonstrations, Leslie Frontz shows readers how to eliminate common barriers to achieve beautiful, captivating watercolour paintings. Beginning with teaching readers how to see with an artist’s eye, Frontz then establishes how watercolour painters build on this skill by making timely decisions throughout the creation process.
